I am about to test the theory that green apples help calm nausea.....

I am about to test the theory that green apples help calm nausea.....

I hope that they do. I've been quite lucky with having very little nausea.



Welcome and congratulations to all of our new groupies!

Can't say they did... However,It did ease my hunger a bit which in turn does ease the nausea... So less nausea is a good thing in my book!

I've heard sour candies are good for nausea...they make some specific ones called preggo pops.

I was kinda hoping I'd have nausea to test it out...but maybe I will go get some sour candy anyway

Might have to check it out. With my oldest I had suck bad heart burn and the only think that helped was green Apple jolly ranchers.

I had the worst morning sickeness with DS. I tried the "preggie pops" candies- they didn't taste good, didn't work, and were overpriced- you may as well just suck on some generic hard candies. I tried peppermint tea- I don't remember it having an effect, but I didn't drink nearly enough water so it probably helped to hydrate me. I tried the sea-bands, but they didn't work either... so no advice. It was summer break, and I didn't have any other kids to look after, so I just slept and didn't move most of the time! (it was the worst from around 12-15 weeks... Started around 7/8)

I also had bad cramps through all of my pregnancies- the one that did and ones that didn't work out- With DS I was told it was normal- I'd get the aches through most of 1st tri, and the sharp pulling pains the entire time.

With this one, I'm only 4.5 weeks in, and I'm feeling the fewest cramps I've had yet. I also don't have sore boobs, which I had with every other one as well... not feeling sick, either. Seems odd- tests are still progressing extremely slowly (last night at 17dpo I still got a 1-2 weeks on CBD) so I don't know what to think... I've made it 8 days so far since my BFP- If I can make it another 19, we'll have our first scan, and will hopefully know one way or another.

Hi ladies! I'm expecting July 20th but am super nervous. My initial beta was just under 10 but they said I was probably just super early. So, they have me coming in on Monday for a second beta after my hormones have had some time to get kicking. I had a MMC a couple months ago (suspected ectopic). So, I'm very scared, but I'm praying this is it for me and DH!

 

[jjbuttons]

Felt awful today and walking abit far makes me super tired got blood test for initial booking on the 19th just waiting for me to phone and scan letter to come

Very emotional and sensitive past two days

I am having such a rough day. I'm sitting here at my desk at work, typing this and crying at the same time. I just feel so sick and uncomfortable. It feels like I could possibly vomit at any time, but I haven't today yet. Whatever I eat feels stuck in my throat and I'm having some mild abdominal pain/cramping, but no bleeding/spotting. I just want to go home and sleep, but I can't miss any more work. Hope everyone is having a better day than I am.

Good to see you here TTC!

Hi ladies...I started spotting last night. I had a spot last night when I wiped, pink and now this morning nothing. unfortunately this is completely deja vu for me since I started spotting with my son at EXACTLY the same time...6 WEEKS. Unfortunately doesn't make it anymore re-assuring since this time I am in the 35+ camp. I am going to call the doc and see if she will c me, especially since I will be travelling for work next week to another country...yup...all alone and potentially bleeding with NO support...I could crawl under a rock right now and throw myself a pity party. Last time I was a disaster for an ENTIRE week.

I hope you're able to see the Dr before you travel to get some reassurance. I had some pink spotting a couple of days ago, but it has gone away. Hang in there.

I'm sorry you feel so bad Even though its for a happy reason, it is never pleasant to feel so yucky.

Not so easy- I hope that ts nothing and that you get some good news from your doctor!

 

[jalilma]

Just barfed for the first time ever due to pregnancy nausea.... Its one for the baby book... "You are the only child that actually made me barf... Good job kid"

 

[SCgirl]

Tonight I'm finally starting to think this may actually happen... So far, none of my chemicals have gotten above 1-2 weeks on CBD- so this is a good sign, right?
This pic shows 15dpo-18dpo- finally seeing progress!

 

[TTC74]

That's great SCGirl!

I am also obsessing over lines bc my last BFP was ectopic/MMC. I can totally see the progress from Monday to today, though. So, I'm hopeful. I go in for another beta on Monday. Until then, I'll be POAS.

 

[SCgirl]

There's definitely a good difference- darkening faster than mine did at that time! (I got my bfp at 10dpo so it's taking forever!) glad I'm not the only POAS addict

 

[BostonLover89]

Had my first appointment today! Got to see a heartbeat and Dr. said that everything looks great so far! I wasn't expecting to get a scan but he wanted to check because of my family history.

I'm thrilled that everything is going well! He said I am measuring 6 + 6 (new EDD June 30th) so a day ahead of my previous EDD. Still going to stick around with you ladies though!
